Took the ax-10 / SW3 out, and am very impressed. Now I have a rig that does what I think it should........:-P Ax-10'ers give the build a try, you'll be HAPPY |

WOW! I cant stop looking at this build. I have an axe and new to the sport and i am looking at getting some better perfomance. Besides the weight factor what else could the SW3 offer me compared to stock. I am just below 3" now with my big bores and losi whites (front) and Losi red (rear.) I love my setup but just cant break over ledges very well. Would the SW3 break over easier at the same chassis hight as what i am at now? This may be a stupid newbie question but i would have to think that being lighter and thinner than the stock chassis would help with breaking over things, but then again 3 inches of clearance is 3 inches of clearance.

Thanks bender, i will order one asap. I have to be honest my two buddies bought an axe and have copied every upgrade that i have done, springs, revolver black brushless motors, mamba max, cutting the foams the same, and now they are giving me a good run for my money so i need that extra bit of advantage. Plus the way things are going if i get one, you will soon sell two additional ones to my two buddies, which doesnt hurt your business. Maybe if you have a second, and since you have the experience playing with the sw3 axial you can give me some pointers as far as what link holes and setup to use so that the anti-squatting and geometry is set right. my set up is tmaxx 4" big bores with 60 wt all the way around losi whites in the front and Reds in the rear. I have proline moab M3 and claws on the way this week. Right now my rig really likes to pull the front right off the ground and wont come back down. on the ground though i have zero torque twist. I am thinking of doing your 10wt in the front and 30 wt rear like you set this one up. Again i am new at this sport so I really appreciate your time and explaining things.

I found that setting the SW3 AX10 up with the upper links mounted in the middle hole to start worked good. That's where I ended up before I gave this rig to the owner. Running stiffer oil and springs in the rear shocks will help fight the torque twist, link set-up can play a big role too. I would lighten up your shock oil set-up in the front, it'll help the front axle flow with the terrain better. The front of my 2.2 comp rig will sag a little under it's own weight, while sitting on level ground. Let me know if you have any more questions on set-up. | |

brad, did you happen to notice/check the servo mounting plate on these? i was just wondering if a set of your servoplate/upper link mounts would bolt on to a set of these axles? the stock servo plate looks almost identical to a stock TLT servo plate...

| The hole patterns are different between the TLT and the AX10 axles. But, there is enough room to add the AX10 mounting points to my TLT link mounts, without any holes hitting each other. |
